Adopt the abandoned AUR packagages & update readme #9

Closed plawucht closed 7 years ago

Hey there, the packages in the Arch User Repository got abandoned quite some time ago. Maybe one of your developers could maintain them! Links: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/microsoft-r-open/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/microsoft-r-open-blas/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/microsoft-r-open-blas-systemblas/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/revomath/

It would really help people that manage all their packages on Arch based systems with something like octopi and who don't have the experience to manage, pull and compile from github, especially since your Building/Installation chapter in your readme points to the R manual which does not specify patching et cetera. An updated readme would be greatly appreciated. Packages like microsoft-r-open-blas, microsoft-r-open-blas-systemblas and revomath could use some love, too.

Thank you!

A user in the AUR by the name of alexanderp has adopted and updated it. It's up to date now. A quick update if the different other dependent packages are still needed would be great. Nice work!
